4. The demand and supply functions for a good are P = 50 − 2Q and P =
14 + 4Q, respectively.
(a) Calculate the equilibrium price and quantity; confirm your answer graph-
ically.
(b) Calculate the consumer surplus (CS) and the producer surplus (PS) at
equilibrium, correct to two decimal places; shade them on the graph in
(a).
5. The demand and supply functions for a good are P = 100–0.5Q and P =
10 + 0.5Q, respectively.
(a) Calculate the equilibrium price and quantity; confirm your answer graph-
ically.
(b) Calculate consumer and producer surplus at equilibrium.
6. Mulungushi farm may sell its produce in two different markets; the demand
100
functions for the two markets are P = (Q+1) and P = 100–Q2 .
(a) Graph both demand functions over the interval Q = 0 to Q = 14:
comment on the revenue from the two markets.
(b) Calculate the total revenue received from (i) the sale of the first 10 units
in each market and (ii) the sale of units 8 to 12 inclusive.
